Auburn's Marta Sanz carded
a 4-under 68 in the final round of the AllState Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate in
New Orleans giving her an 8-under 208 three-day total for her second career
individual win. The Auburn women's golf team finished 9th as a team
at the three-day tournament on Tuesday.

Hosted by Tulane, the AllState Sugar Bowl
Intercollegiate was a 54-hole tournament that was played at the English Turn
Golf & Country Club. The par-72 course played at 6,140 yards and Auburn was
one of the 13 nationally-ranked teams playing in the 17-team fields.

"It was a good field and great tournament.
We're off to decent start, but we are still not playing our best golf yet, but
we are getting there," Auburn head coach Kim Evans. "Marta played well and just
chipped away at the lead throughout the day. Her last putt was an eight-footer
downhill to win and she knew she had to make it. That's what good players do in
those situations."

Auburn shot 2-under 286 on the final day of
action as team to secure ninth place with overall score of 9-over 873. No. 2
UCLA won the tournament with at 21-under 843 to best No. 1 USC by six strokes
as the Trojans shot 15-under 849.

Sanz fired the second-lowest round of the day
with a 4-under 68 secure the victory. The senior started the day in a tie for
third, four shots back of the lead.

"The
day held on fine. I started parring the first few holes, but I knew I had to
get back a few shots and started birdying and played really well," Sanz said.
"I hit some really good shots onto the greens which gave me some birdie
opportunities, and the putting was on fire. I learned from (the course) every day and tried
not to make the same mistakes from the second round yesterday to today. Today,
it was just simple golf."

Clara
Baena posted a three-day score of 1-over 217 to tie for 22nd overall
as the freshman shot even-par 72 on Tuesday. Senior Diana Fernandez tied for 49th
with a three-day total of 6-over 222 after finishing the final round with an
even-par 72.

Alex
Harrell tied for 70th overall carding a 2-over 74 in the final round
to finish with 11-over 227. Jamie Yun was 81st at 15-over 231 and
shot 4-over 76 on Tuesday.

LSU went back to work this week in preparation for the Citrus Bowl against Notre Dame. A win would be nice, but this is also a chance to get some freshman playing time to get ready for 2018. Well it'll come in practice only. "Those guys will get more reps. So I'll give them a couple of more reps at the end of a team period. It's sending the wrong message to our football team. It's all focus on winning the game. Exactly what we did last year," said LSU Head Coach Ed Org...More >>
